Presenting the champs

The Red Sox beat the A's, 7-4, in the Championship Game on June 8 to become the 2008 San Ramon Valley Little League AA Champions. It was a battle of the pitchers, with the Red Sox starting pitcher Jordan Weil pitching almost five innings and holding the A's to only two runs in four-and-a-half innings. Then Red Sox pitcher Max Pienkny finished the game with the final pitch, with the bases loaded, striking the last batter out in the top of the 6th inning. The Red Sox capped a very successful season for a total of 18 wins and one loss.
